A Call to the Sky by Marc B. DeGeorge

In a world with no ground, only flight keeps you alive.
Toume d’Nezuhmy only wanted to be a pilot, just like his mother. As the son of a chieftain, his clan had trained him to fly well, then sent him to bury his head in books. He would have stayed in them, if not for the high priestess of the Drahken clan. She offers him a curious mission. There is no pay, but if he is successful, the high priestess will grant him her daughter’s hand in marriage. This delivery is not as simple as it seems, however. Rival clans will kill him for the package, and even if he is successful, marriage is no guarantee of happiness. A serious choice lies before Toume. Should he choose wrong, he could wind up dead, or worse—a failed union between him and the Drahken heir would destroy the only alliance that protects his clan from destruction.

The responsibility of the Nezuhmy clan now belongs to Toume, but rather than focusing on his people, his eyes look to the stars. A project to launch a ship into space is nearing completion, and Toume wants nothing more than to be on it.
Not everyone is so eager to see the launch succeed. Suspicion surrounds the project, and Preandra, chief of the technical Manuhke clan, is hesitant to move forward after a concerning discovery.
When a tragic event occurs, Preandra shuts the project down, threating violence if Toume persists in finding out what happened. What is the reason for the director’s warning? And can Toume investigate before his advisors ground him?
To save the future of the planet, and his people, Toume must choose between his desires and his true responsibilities.
